Amanda Fisackerly – Chief Executive Officer, Fizz-Biz
Seeking work is hard, whether in employment, under risk of redundancy, unemployed or self-employed. For most, it occurs infrequently and generally when things are already stressful. It requires a specific set of skills and expertise and most people don’t have those skills and expertise ready to go, in their personal competences kit-bag. As a recruitment consultant, I found that even the most confident found the process lonely, frightening, challenging and frustrating. I realised that most of my time with the applicant was focused on coaching them to be the best they could be, in the shortest time possible, so that they could make the best of the opportunities they selected.
